  • Question

    Hi I have a passion flower producing an orange fruit almost the size of a tangerine, fruit inside almost look like small pomegranate fruit but soft as passion fruit and red in colour like pomegranate, is this an edible fruit please . Hope to hear from you soon Pam 19th october 2016

    Answer

    Dear Pam, good morning. I don't know what species of passion flower you are growing. Most species have an edible fruit, but it would be best to know which species you have to confirm that. Some species are not edible when immature, so waiting until full maturity are important for any species that you have. Passion flower fruits are quite delicious and I hope you are able to confirm your species so you can enjoy it. Best wishes.
